Considering a Netbook?

By admin

I have been impressed with my ACER netbook and I really love the portability and weight. Everyone I know seems to like using ther netbooks for travelling work and keeping the heavier laptops and desktops for the heavy lifting back at the office/home/hotel room. The cost is also quite low which makes it less stressful to carry around places.

From some respects I don’t see these netbooks as that different than using a dedicated e-book reader but with more functionality…

You do get some stares if you’re putting 2 or 3 laptops through the scanner at airport security.

Anyway, I thought you might find this Gizmodo comparison of the lastest netbooks on the market helpful if you’re thinking about getting a netbook for Easter or Passover.

They are calling this “Battlemodo“, and only looked at “netbooks powered by Intel’s Pine Trail (Atom N450) processor. Netbooks sporting older processors are a bit cheaper, but they’re also a little slower and don’t achieve the same impressive battery life as Pine Trail.”

So, if you’re considering a netbooks by Acer, HP, Dell, Sony VIAO, or Toshiba check it out.
